My only retort here is similar to another post I already made. I object to you saying “you don’t like it” because you haven’t played it. You’re entitled to your opinion, of course, but saying you don’t like a game that you’ve never played is, I hope you can agree, rather silly. What you actually mean is that you…

Yet the people who actively support policies that WILL result in people dying due to our government’s gross negligence are somehow better that this? Interesting ideology.

Well if you find FPV games unsettling then I totally understand. But most of the backlash that I’ve read boils down to “OMG it’s different. I’m not buying this game as a protest because change is bad.” Now that may not be what you’re saying at all. Just referring to the bulk of “criticism” (using sneer quotes here…

For sure. I totally see your point and I agree.

Of course. I will never know what it is like to be a squid. And their minds, and physiology in general, are, of course, extremely hard to relate to!

That is a very odd reason not to buy a game that is one of the best in the series.

Gotcha. Sorry for going overly serious here. A lot of very smart animals have short life spans, compared to humans, but it shouldn’t take away from their intelligence. I’m a nerdy biologist so I get overly defensive about this shit.

Apologies but I kind of rail against this alien intelligence stuff. Cephalopoda are extremely intelligent and the only reason we find them to be so alien is because we understand very little about their world. We also struggle to conceive of other species (Cephalopoda, corvidae etc) that might have the capacity for…

Now that’s a funny joke!

Sure, those behaviors are definitely more egregious. But I personally would take the occasional one of those over having to watch demonstrative nonsense all game, every time I turn on the TV. That’s the one that actually affects me as a viewer the most and it’s the thing that sticks with me.

I had a hunch but I wasn’t certain!

Have you ever actually watched Tim Duncan play a game of basketball? The guy was constantly whining and making “astonished” faces at the ref. You know that face, the one with the irritating bug eyes? The one that he made multiple times per game, every game for his entire career? Yeah, that one.

I can’t tell if you’re joking or not. Just in case you’re not, I feel compelled to point out that Nigeria is in West Africa and is, in fact, definitely not in the middle east.

There’s no market for Rajon Rondo. He has devolved into the most selfish pass first guy I’ve ever seen in the league. I know that sounds silly but watch him play. He’s incapable of doing anything useful on either end except for passing up shots for way tougher shots in order to try to pad his assists. It’s been this…

So glad Westbrook is going to leave ASAP as well and leave the this stolen franchise in the dust.

Agreed. And love that you instantly pegged me as gen Xer. Spot on. Goddamit. Are you as bored as I am by the proclamation of MSG as “the world’s most famous arena”? It’s not even the best arena in this fucking city.

How is that being moderate? I’m a left wing lunatic and I still support our troops. It’s not their fault that the powers that be wield the military in such a reprehensible way.

This is modern Knicks fans. They’ve been bad for so long that the modern, millennial fan base is consumed by self-loathing. Old school Knicks fans still think their franchise is the most important thing in the NBA even though they haven’t done anything of note since 1977. Source: live in NYC and work with 4 Knicks…

My favorite was Alonzo Mourning’s hook shot early in the Charlotte/Miami Heat era. Catch ball on left block, take a dribble, proceed to walk across the ENTIRE lane while cradling the ball and then take a shot.

Admittedly I made my last post in anger. I still don’t understand how we’ll be much better off. Can you enlighten me? I’m not trying to be an ass or be sarcastic. I’m genuinely curious as to what makes you think that.
